opening configuration files

[cheenu_2002]

Hi,

In my application I have a "configure" item in my menu. When this menu is selected, a doc/exel/txt file should open. It should have a format something like shown below:

S.No Pin No. Channel Name

Under each of the columns, the user will enter the required values and I need to use them in my program. If opening a file with predescribed format is not possible, then I would like to know how to read the data column wise if such a file already exists.

Thanx & Regards,

Srini

Have a look at the examples (Menu Help->Find Examples...): Read from Text File.vi
